7 Specification of lletters Patent.

Application filed October 13, 1914. Serial No. 866,499.

To all whom it may concern 1 Be it known that I, EMMA K. MUNorI, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Emporia, in the county of Lyon and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Stool-Slips, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a sanitary stool slip and has for its object the production of a simple and efficient slip which may be easily and readily attached to the seat of the stool.

Another object of this invention is the production of a simple and efficient stool I slip which will fit snugly around the edge and over the upper face of the seat of the stool to constitute a sanitary protector therefor.

l/Vith these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the seat of the stool showing the protector applied thereto. Fig. 2 is arear elevation of the cient covering therefor.

seat of the stool showing the protector applied thereto. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the sanitary protector. Fig. 4 is aperspective view of the protector. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View through the pro tector showing the same applied to the seat of a stool.

By referring to the drawing it will be seen that 1 designates the seat of the stool which is mounted and supported in the usual manner, and the protect-or 2 is adapted to fit over the seat and constitute an effi- The protector 2 comprises an upper strip 3 and .n under segmental strip 4, the upper strip 3 being connected around its forward and side edges to the forward and side edges of the under strip 4 by having the edges joined together and bound by means of a binding tapev 5 as, clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 5. lit should be understood that this-binding tape 5 is stitched through the adjoining edges 7 of the upper strip 3 and the. lower strip 4.

The upper strip 3 is provided with a centrally located aperture 6 which is provided with a reinforcing or binding tape 7 substantially U-shaped in' cross-section stitched around the'edge thereof to constitute a pro- .tector and reinforcement therefor. The

tutes an efiicient reinforcement for the protector or edge of the under strip 4. It should be understood that the under strip and top strip 3 will constitute a pocket for fitting over the forward end of the seat 1 as is illustrated clearly in Fig. 1.

it should be understood as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 that the under strip 4 is provided with straight side edges 9 which are so constructed to allow the protector Patented Nov. 2, 1915.

to be readily applied to the seat of a stool. I

A retaining loop 10 is stitched orotherwise secured to the upper strip 3 near the rear thereof as indicated at 11, and this retaining band 10 is adapted to pass under the cap 12 of the hopper 13 as illustrated clearly in Figs. 1 and 2. The retaining loop 10 carries a plurality of snap eyes 14 which are adapted to engage a suitable snap hook carried by the face of the outer strip 8 near the rear end thereof so as to allow the retaining strap 10 to be adjusted and detachably secured at its free end to the upper face of the outer strip 3 and efficiently hold the same in position.

It, of course, should be understood that other suitable fastening means such as buttons and the like may be employed if so desired without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is preferable to make thesanitary slip out of fabric such as willabsorb any moisture, although it is not necessary that this material be used as tough tissue paper or other suitable material of any nature may r be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described the lnventlon what is claimed as new,' 1s:'
